(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nPer Glossy, the cult Canadian brand Garage is opening 20 profitable stores per year, expanding rapidly into the UK market with stores in London and Manchester.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): profitable unit economics at scale allow you to pay rent. Garage proved the model works at home, then exported the playbook to a new market without changing the product or the positioning. For any brand that has hit 20+ locations in one market with real unit margins, the next play is horizontal expansion into a similar market (same language, same retail infrastructure, same customer). Open 2-3 flagships, let the press cover it (they did), and the franchise operators show up.
